Wo are satisfied that the country will
find it necessary, ultiiWvoly, , ta retrace
ito stops-to revise its measures upon the
All important subject of suffrage,. Tho
Republican party prides itself upon its
cry of Suffrage to?11, without regard to
fKPHK ??r pw^jpnrnSn?Si. ?Wpm*?>
0 iffiSlTOIM <? nee asa? ty to moko voters
of the freedmen of the South. Now, it
f?Hjdt&rtifr td- the ?lgn ky of a gireat
principle, tho offspring of patty trickery
and expediency. Now, that the negroes
of tho South are absolutely free, we ad?
mit that color alone ought not to regulate
suffrage, and that for the future, the
irame. restriction a that attach to tho black
voter, should attach to the white voter.
That suffrago should be hedged in by
??mo r?a?o^ablo nnd impartial condition,
wo regard a proposition that few reflect?
ing minds will dispute. The matter is
beginning ,'Iq attract nttoation. Men,
outside of par ty prejudices, aro begin
-ning to seo tho impo* tunco of regulating
this Bttftage' bttsiness. The New York
Evening Republic-a journal, indepen?
dent in politics-having puggested tho
dangers.that are connected with tho pre
valence c?^universal suffrage, a corres?
pondent replies na follows:
"SIB: J. haye read with mu uh in ter est,
in thp'eightoeiith number of your jour?
nal, an ibbie ?editorial entitled, 'Justice,
Safety^ abd Sense in Suffrage.' This bold
confronting of a serions and unwelcome
fact which. your contemporaries of tho
?>res3 have ignored, or, at best, 'have
ooked at over the shoulder, I must con?
fess, bas given me a little surprise os
well as more than a little pleasure, not?
withstanding the confidence I had iu
your intelligence and moral courage. I
knew tho Republic would mnlco its arm felt
when it entered the arena; but I hardly
expected at the outset to witness so inci?
sive a blow. Thousands of thoughtful
and patriotic minds have long been pain?
fully agitated by the conviction, daily
deepening, that the expansion of the
franohise, embracing tho whole mass of
ignorance and vice which forms tho lower
strata of the community, repelling nt tho
polls by on instinctive and unconquera?
ble antipathy the better classes, thus
throwing the governmental powers into
hands which can only destroy what they
touch, does, in your own ont-spoken lan?
guage, 'invite and justify the gravest ap?
prehensions of our national continu?
ance,' and warrants your assertion that,
'the purification of tho ballot is tho se?
curity of .the future.' . What multitudes
of your readers will thank you for this
open expression and endorsement of their
private convictions! Keep this chord
vibrating! Make it your key-note, and
it will find a responsive chord in millions
of hearts. Bring your numerous renders
up to. and keep them up to, tho mo?
mentous questions which, if disregarded
now, may be met by the next generation
and answered amid anarchy and ruin."
Tho Evening Republic pursues tho
subject, and gives some good suggestions
on the, subject of "education and the
ballot." lt takes the ground that the
voters hereafter should be gauged by an
easy but decisive educational test. As a
renton for this reform, it points to "the
magnitude of tho evils of uncontrollable
suffrage," to "the ideutity of ignorance
with corruption and brutality in our
practical politics," to "the predominance
01 the worst elements in our citizenship,"
and as a consequence of this, the crowd?
ing "into obscurity and apathy" ol
"our best class of voters." Tho cure for
all this, tho Republic finds tu "such n
government of the ballot as will restrain
it from soilure and sacrilege." And this
government it would place on au educa?
tional qualification. This is the remedy
proposed. The Republic says:
"The straight path out of onr difficul?
ties lies through an enactment of two
simple yet grand reforms:
"First, the attendance of ch id ron upon
H?hools should be compulsory.
"Second, having made elementary
education possible to and obligatory
upon all, an amendment to the Constitu?
tion should be adopted, extending thc
elective franohise from tho date of thc
ratification of that amendment only tc
those who can read and write the lan?
guage of the country.
"The party cries on tho suffrage ques?
tion hitherto have been singularly nar?
row, and the success of any of them
would solve nono of our problems, assure
no future security, and extinguish no ac
tnal or imminent danger. "America foi
Americans" was a taking term for awhile
-but it was selfish, contracted, opposet"
to tho destiny of a cosmopolite country,
and deservedly died the death. lA
Whito Mon's Government' appealec
quito as much to the prejudico as tc
tho pride of race, and it has gone dowr.
before the cry of 'Equal Rights for All
-a noble shout-under the perversion
of which, however, wc bavo been landet
into tbo very pool of ignorance, corrup
tion, apathy and centralization, when
now we wallow.
Tho remedy we bring--'Schools foi
All, and Education for tho Voter,' is th<
winniug word for the party of the futuro
It is just, impartial, effectual aud indis
pensable."
We are pleased to find these views at
trading attention in the North. There th<
disease originated-thenco it cairn, to ui
-and it is meet that where thc diseas<
arose, Inhere the remedy should be dc
vised.

THE SOUTHERN COHMXBOIAL CONVEN?
TION.-Tho Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
publishes a special despatch, dated Lou?
isville, October 12, which says:
"The Southern Commercial Conven?
tion met to-day, and was organized by
the election of ex-President Millard Fill?
more as President. Gov. Stevenson, of
Kentucky, delivered tho welcoming ad
dross, in which, referring to direot trade
with Europe, he expressed the hope that
Norfolk would be the port of entry for
tho first line of steamers. The remarks
of Gov. Stevenson in reference to the
port of entry caused much feeling and
dissatisfaction among tho delegations
from tho more Southern States. The
Convention was exceedingly disorderly,
and nothing of importance was done to?
day. A resolution against Chinese im?
migration was introduced.
"Tho Southern Pacific Railroad will
bo tho main question which comes be?
fore tho Convention. There is much
jealousy between tho advocates of Nor?
folk as a port of entry and tho delegates
favoring more Southern ports. Nearly
evory Stato is represented. There was a
difficulty between an Alabama and Ken?
tucky delegato, but nothiug serious so
far."
The Associated Press despatch says:
"Fillmore was elected President of the
Convention, and was introduced by Gov.
Stevenson. Mr, Fillmore trusted the
questions solved by the war would never
disturb us again, lie expressed his vene?
ration for thu Constitution, though ho
know when he was signing the fugitivo
slave law he was signing his political
death-warrant. 'I found no defect in it;
it was constitutional; I would have sign?
ed it bad it taken my right arm.' A mes?
sage from oity of Louisville and State of
Kentucky, recommending Norfolk ns tho
terminus of a steamship line from
Utracht, was received."
A sncriligeous thief entered the church
of tho Holy Trinity, in New Orleans, on
Thursday, under pretext of worshiping,
and, when alono in tho building, ho lost
no time in breaking open the sacristy
and helping himself to the saorcd ves?
sels. He succeeded in carrying off three
chalices, valued respectively at $100,
870 and S10, a large silver dish valued at
?8100 and three altar cloths. Tho thief
was apparently so deeply engaged in
prayer, when seen in the church imme?
diately before'the robbery, that he con?
cealed both face and head in his hands,
rendering it a difficult matter to indenti

this County, between James Hardwick,

difficulty had occurred between the par?

previous, Woods persisted in pushing
the quarrel upon Hardwick, who tiring,
